Screw the daemon - run it out of cron. Script: freshclam.sh #!/bin/bash # run freshclam at random intervals 3 times/hour sleep $[ RANDOM % 900 ] /usr/local/bin/freshclam \ --quiet \ --daemon-notify=/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf exit Crontab: 0,20,40 * * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam.sh dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
